Miami Dolphins: What if Rex Ryan had coached here?

As Rex Ryan and Channing Crowder continue to sling insults at each other in a battle that started here -- and with Bart Scott now predictably joining in -- let's try to look at this from another angle.

It is clear that the Dolphins respect their coach, and his style. You will never hear Tony Sparano slamming an opponent the way that Ryan has, and it is unlikely you will ever hear him boast about his team the way that Ryan has. (Praise, yes. Boast, no).

But it is also clear that the Jets respect their new coach's attitude as well. Many were quoted in the New York newspapers today. Saturday, I got the same sort of answers while attending David Clowney's football camp in Delray.

"I love it," Clowney said of Ryan's brashness.

Wallace Wright, another receiver, said “whenever you have a coach who speaks his mind, and doesn’t sugarcoat things, I think it’s better for everyone. Because he encourages us to speak our minds. It’s a different type of mentality now. We’re going to line up and hit you in the mouth, and can you stop it?”

Offensive tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson said “we’ve got a swagger approach. That’s the type of attitude you have to have, especially with all the talented guys we have in our division.”

I'm very happy with our current coaches. I personnally don't see Rexxy doing much with the Yets. Swagger and attitude is all fine and wonderful for a Coordinator, but you have to have the smarts and maturity for a head coach job. I don't see that so far by getting into a war of words with one of your competitors LB's.

If Ryan was the HC here 80% of the threads would be supporting him and his comments.

We'd be leading the league in hot air fersure. You're probably right about fan support had he followed a Wanny, Cam or Satan. But having had the guy we're fortunate to have -even if he hadn't orchestrated the greatest turnaround in history, it's easy to tell the difference between hot air rehetoric and substance.

If you think about it, it's really blind naivety, without a snap from center, to buy into the unfounded verbiage that we're tough and we've got swagger. At this point, after experiencing the gospel according to Tony preaching tough but fair competition, personal accountability, and appreciation for performance, most Fins fans are smart enough to distinguish between steak and what's essentially "sizzle."

If he had coached here we would all be supporting him no doubt about it. If Sporano came out and trash talked the Jets I'd be very supportive as long as he didn't say something stupid like "Who is the middle linebacker of our division rival?" But I know Sporano would ever be that dumb. Sporano is the MAN!

Hit you IN the mouth or hit you WITH our mouths? These clowns are just making it worse for themselves each and every day and the medias eating it up while the gettins good
